Anti-Bullying Week: Stand Up, Speak Out, Show Kindness! đź’™
Our Counseling Department is excited to sponsor Anti-Bullying Week, a time to come together and show our support for a safe, respectful, and inclusive school community. Each day this week features a different dress-up theme, giving students a chance to express themselves and spread the message that kindness and respect never go out of style. Join us in taking a stand against bullying -Â together, we can make our school a place where everyone feels they belong.Â
